Companies really don’t put much effort into making these readable or accessible.
Many websites I’ve used it’s even a broken link, there’s nothing to read but I’m expected to agree anyway.
The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they’re not designed to be actually read by people.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

Learned this lesson the hard way, once bought a cheap replacement laptop charger for one that had broken.
It didn’t work and instead borked the backlight of my screen. I then discovered that on this model, the backlight couldn’t be separately replaced, had to buy and fit a whole new screen and then also buy another replacement charger.

I don’t know whether you have the same issue but I got stuck on the EULA page because there’s a birth date selector behind it and they made both modal. The date picker is active but the EULA is on top so you can’t do anything. Tried in both Firefox & Chrome.
The solution for me was to just go back to the store page while signed in, choose a conforming birthdate and then the EULA page worked normally.
Checkout page is just badly written
